Warfish Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Start of 2nd Half in Jacksonville Yesterday. This franchise needs moved, to any other city that can actually support it. How this team hasn't been moved to L.A., or Portland, or hell, even Richmond VA (Richmond Generals anyone?) could do better than this, I don't know.

Klecko73isGod Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Do some research Fish. The Jaguars have higher average attendance than the Lions, Steelers, Bears, Cardinals, Bengals, Bucs, Rams, Raiders and Vikings. The sad part there is that five of those teams are playoff contenders. The Jags have two wins. It was cold and rainy here yesterday, both out of character for this part of the country, and they were getting their ass kicked. It happens. http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like the Jets haven't been known for no shows and for the stadium emptying early when the team sucks, the weather is sh*t and they are getting their asses kicked. The city that should be giving up their team is Tampa. Team won a Super Bowl 12 years ago, their stadium only holds 65k and more than 10% of those seats go unsold on a weekly basis.

I can vouch, been to 3 games in the past two years, all divisional games and the stadium was no more than 40% filled in any of them. The fan base is here, but no one shows up. Same thing with the Rays. Tampa doesn't deserve either franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move the team to LABoomer Esiason was babbling that both the Raiders and Rams' leases end at the end of this season, and both would be moving to LA for the 2015 season.Won't be announced until the season's over to avoid Cleveland-like levels of anger especially in Oakland. One will play at the Rose Bowl, the other at the Coliseum, and a new stadium will be built for them to share. The Bills have terminated their relationship with Toronto, would make a world of sense to move the Jags there. Would bet a Toronto franchise would be more likely to sell out every game than either LA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville in Toronto would make sense to meProblem is the Oakland Coiiseum is a dump, and that city has no money. It's a lot like Shea or any of those old multiuse outhouses and that's been out of fahsion a long time. Sympathetic to fans wanting to keep their team and not rebuilding for no good reason, but the Raiders are overdue for an updated stadium. As to both teams moving back, think the NFL may not understand the LA market is a different animal ethnically and economically and not sure it works for 2 teams. In the abstract sounds great but most people in southern California are from somwhere else anyway,and not necessarily from the US either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I can't think of a major American city that needs another major league team than Portland. If just to give the sports fans around here hope. The Blazer fans get their 18k a game but it wasn't like it was. The socialist douchebags who run the PDX/Vancouver area tried to abort the MLS franchise. Portland could support another franchise if some ownership group would try.

JohnnyLV Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 so the two teams that LEFT LA because of poor support and ticket sales now are moving back? LA is not a football city, UNLESS you give them a team that is truly theirs. then, maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
